2007-02-16[PATCH] eCryptfs: Reduce stack usage in ecryptfs_generate_key_packet_set()Michael Halcrow
eCryptfs is gobbling a lot of stack in ecryptfs_generate_key_packet_set() because it allocates a temporary memory-hungry ecryptfs_key_record struct. This patch introduces a new kmem_cache for that struct and converts ecryptfs_generate_key_packet_set() to use it.

2007-02-16[PATCH] knfsd: stop NFSD writes from being broken into lots of little writes ↵NeilBrown
to filesystem When NFSD receives a write request, the data is typically in a number of 1448 byte segments and writev is used to collect them together. Unfortunately, generic_file_buffered_write passes these to the filesystem one at a time, so an e.g. 32K over-write becomes a series of partial-page writes to each page, causing the filesystem to have to pre-read those pages - wasted effort. generic_file_buffered_write handles one segment of the vector at a time as it has to pre-fault in each segment to avoid deadlocks. When writing from kernel-space (and nfsd does) this is not an issue, so generic_file_buffered_write does not need to break and iovec from nfsd into little pieces. This patch avoids the splitting when get_fs is KERNEL_DS as it is from NFSd.

2007-02-16[PATCH] knfsd: nfsd4: fix handling of directories without default ACLsJ. Bruce Fields

2007-02-16[PATCH] knfsd: nfsd4: acls: avoid unnecessary deniesJ. Bruce Fields
We're inserting deny's between some ACEs in order to enforce posix draft acl semantics which prevent permissions from accumulating across entries in an acl. That's fine, but we're doing that by inserting a deny after *every* allow, which is overkill. We shouldn't be adding them in places where they actually make no difference. Also replaced some helper functions for creating acl entries; I prefer just assigning directly to the struct fields--it takes a few more lines, but the field names provide some documentation that I think makes the result easier understand.

2007-02-16[PATCH] knfsd: nfsd4: relax checking of ACL inheritance bitsJ. Bruce Fields
The rfc allows us to be more permissive about the ACL inheritance bits we accept: "If the server supports a single "inherit ACE" flag that applies to both files and directories, the server may reject the request (i.e., requiring the client to set both the file and directory inheritance flags). The server may also accept the request and silently turn on the ACE4_DIRECTORY_INHERIT_ACE flag." Let's take the latter option--the ACL is a complex attribute that could be rejected for a wide variety of reasons, and the protocol gives us little ability to explain the reason for the rejection, so erroring out is a user-unfriendly last resort.

2007-02-16[PATCH] knfsd: nfsd4: fix non-terminated stringJ. Bruce Fields
The server name is expected to be a null-terminated string, so we can't pass in the raw client identifier. What's more, the client identifier is just a binary, not necessarily printable, blob. Let's just use the ip address instead. The server name appears to exist just to help debugging by making some printk's more informative. Note that the string is copies into the rpc client structure, so the pointer to the local variable does not outlive the function call. Signed-off-by: "J.

2007-02-16[PATCH] genirq: do not mask interrupts by defaultIngo Molnar
Never mask interrupts immediately upon request. Disabling interrupts in high-performance codepaths is rare, and on the other hand this change could recover lost edges (or even other types of lost interrupts) by conservatively only masking interrupts after they happen. (NOTE: with this change the highlevel irq-disable code still soft-disables this IRQ line - and if such an interrupt happens then the IRQ flow handler keeps the IRQ masked.) Mark i8529A controllers as 'never loses an edge'.

2007-02-16[PATCH] posix timers: RCU optimization for clock_gettime()Paul E. McKenney
Use RCU to avoid the need to acquire tasklist_lock in the single-threaded case of clock_gettime(). It still acquires tasklist_lock when for a (potentially multithreaded) process. This change allows realtime applications to frequently monitor CPU consumption of individual tasks, as requested (and now deployed) by some off-list users. This has been in Ingo Molnar's -rt patchset since late 2005 with no problems reported, and tests successfully on 2.6.20-rc6, so I believe that it is long-since ready for mainline adoption.

2007-02-16[PATCH] i386 rework local apic timer calibrationThomas Gleixner
The local apic timer calibration has two problem cases: 1. The calibration is based on readout of the PIT/HPET timer to detect the wrap of the periodic tick. It happens that a box gets stuck in the calibration loop due to a PIT with a broken readout function. 2. CoreDuo boxen show a sporadic PIT runs too slow defect, which results in a wrong lapic calibration. The PIT goes back to normal operation once the lapic timer is switched to periodic mode. Both are existing and unfixed problems in the current upstream kernel and prevent certain laptops and other systems from booting Linux. Rework the code to address both problems: - Make the calibration interrupt driven. This removes the wait_timer_tick magic hackery from lapic.c and time_hpet.c. The clockevents framework allows easy substitution of the global tick event handler for the calibration. This is more accurate than monitoring jiffies. At this point of the boot process, nothing disturbes the interrupt delivery, so the results are very accurate. - Verify the calibration against the PM timer, when available by using the early access function. When the measured calibration period is outside of an one percent window, then the lapic timer calibration is adjusted to the pm timer result. - Verify the calibration by running the lapic timer with the calibration handler. Disable lapic timer in case of deviation. This also removes the "synchronization" of the local apic timer to the global tick. This synchronization never worked, as there is no way to synchronize PIT(HPET) and local APIC timer. The synchronization by waiting for the tick just alignes the local APIC timer for the first events, but later the events drift away due to the different clocks. Removing the "sync" is just randomizing the asynchronous behaviour at setup time.

Add clockevent drivers for i386: lapic (local) and PIT/HPET (global). Update the timer IRQ to call into the PIT/HPET driver's event handler and the lapic-timer IRQ to call into the lapic clockevent driver. The assignement of timer functionality is delegated to the core framework code and replaces the compile and runtime evalution in do_timer_interrupt_hook() Use the clockevents broadcast support and implement the lapic_broadcast function for ACPI. No changes to existing functionality.

2007-02-16[PATCH] tick-management: broadcast functionalityThomas Gleixner
With Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Add broadcast functionality, so per cpu clock event devices can be registered as dummy devices or switched from/to broadcast on demand. The broadcast function distributes the events via the broadcast function of the clock event device. This is primarily designed to replace the switch apic timer to / from IPI in power states, where the apic stops.

2007-02-16[PATCH] clockevents: add core functionalityThomas Gleixner
Architectures register their clock event devices, in the clock events core. Users of the clockevents core can get clock event devices for their use. The clockevents core code provides notification mechanisms for various clock related management events. This allows to control the clock event devices without the architectures having to worry about the details of function assignment. This is also a preliminary for high resolution timers and dynamic ticks to allow the core code to control the clock functionality without intrusive changes to the architecture code.

2007-02-16[PATCH] Fix cascade lookup of next_timer_interruptThomas Gleixner
When searching for the next pending timer in the timer wheel we need to take the cascade into account. The current code has several problems: 1. it looks into the previous cascade 2. it ignores a pending cascade 3. it ignores multiple cascades Change the cascade lookup, so it calculates the array index from the point of the next cascade and always look at the cascade buckets, when the cascade is pending, i.e. gets executed in the next timer softirq. When multiple cascades are pending, then lookup the next buckets too.

2007-02-16[PATCH] Mark TSC on GeodeLX reliableMarcelo Tosatti
The Geode can safely use the TSC for highres, since: 1) Does not support frequency scaling, 2) The TSC _does_ count when the CPU is halted. Furthermore, the Geode supports a mode called "suspension on halt", where Suspend mode (which interacts with the power management states) is entered. TSC counting during suspend mode is controlled by bit 8 of the Bus Controller Configuration Register #0 (thanks Tom!). 3) no SMP :) Check if "RTSC counts during suspension" and remove the requirement for verification, so the clocksource code can safely select it as an timesource for the highres timers subsystem.
